Description Brandon Barker 2004-02-09 21:47:25 UTC

I'm not sure why this might be; I should probably learn more about ebuilds.  Anyway, I've even added "avi" to the USE list in /etc/make.conf, and I still get the following info during the ebuild configure:

checking for avifile-config... avifile-config
checking whether we can compile the avifile test program... no
* Couldn't compile the avifile test program.
* Disabling avi2swf tool...
updating cache ./config.cache

Thanks for the ebuild,
Brandon

The ebuild doesn't make use of any USE flags at the moment.  I'll look into what swftools needs for avi2swf support.

Hmm I have media-video/avifile installed and have /usr/bin/avifile-config, but still got the same output as you.

I'll look into the config, also I'll add avifile as a dep.

I've asked for help on the swftools-common mailing list.  Hopefully this is a pretty simple problem with an even simpler solution that is just evading my even simpler mind.

avi support is known to break in 0.7.38, so if USE=avi it will depend on avifile 0.7.37.20030522-r2, where it worked for me.
